> After all, it really seems what many developers would like Java to be.

The centralization of train infrastructure in France is especially annoying for someone arriving from the North or East trying to travel towards the South. That Paris does not have a proper rail connection between its various high speed terminals baffles me.

There are next to no security checks on stations that I regularly use throughout Germany, the Netherlands, and Austria. I believe that French stations have a turnstile at the platform for TGV trains. Other than that, I know security checks only from Eurostar terminals at the Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris stations.

The main point of the article is that by "covering your ass" you are actually becoming a better developer, because the prose you write is plans and documentation and gives your thoughts structure.

Hence, your personal productivity (measured by what metric?) might suffer for this one task. However, in the long run you and your team gain productivity because of existing explicit documentation and plans.

To me, google shows a conversion tool: "120 metres = 4724,409 inches".

Note that it confused the unit cm vs m.

Caniuse is a database listing browser support for all kind of web development features, i.e. what version of what browser supports what features of HTML, CSS, Javascript.

It helps web developers to determine what language features to use in order to be compatible with the browsers most of their users use.
